Current Analysis September 17, 2009
“Mobile broadband operators are beginning to plan their initial LTE deployments in the near-term.  At the same time, however, they are dealing with incredible data growth on their current 3G networks. Platforms supporting 4G networks along with the challenges of today’s 3GPP networks – such as WiChorus SmartCore – offer a compelling packet core solution promising investment protection going forward and obviating the need for hardware replacement.”

Current Analysis June 10, 2008
"The promise of WiMAX and LTE is simple - mobile data that's cheaper and more akin to broadband than current 3G offers. In the wireless core, the implication is that new platforms will be required to handle all of this data while layering on intelligence to manage traffic, provide security functions, protect against peer-to-peer abuse, and more. WiChorus, with its purpose-built SmartCore platform, is the first vendor formed to specifically meet the needs of 4G networks and the operators launching them."

“Mobile IP is a critical element in 4G networks – but one that must be able to both handle data and user loads far greater than in 3G networks and be capable of supporting advanced applications, like content management. In addition being designed for high capacity and sitting at a very strategic location in a WiMAX network, the WiChorus Intelligent Home Agent enables service providers to create new service offerings (and realize new revenue opportunities) through advanced application and peer-to-peer traffic management.”
